Patient Reviews
Apr 03, 2025
I'm reading the negative comments re: Dr. Dawes, PhD, MD.It's very obvious you have no understand of psychiatry, the purpose. If you want a long term relationship to blather like an idiot, you go to a Psycologist. Psychiatrists are diagnostic, ONLY. They listen to you for the 1st time usually 30 minutes to see what is wrong. Visit after that, 15 minutes and HE IS LISTENING. That is why you are able to receive your medications. Increased or decreased depending upon your progress. I will agree with you on the NASTY LOCATION OWNED by Compass Behavioral Clinic. Not impressed. As far as the extra visitor in the room, you must be female. Compass, for some stupid reasons places a female in on each visit for the first 6 months or so. They tried that with me. I told her I am a male. No chance of anything happening here. You can leave. He was hesitant at first, RULES ARE RULES. But for me, RULES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN. No I am having some 2nd grade funky listen and tell the world.
